There wasn't a language that inspired the Korwahk language. It was more sounds. I wrote that book when living in England (across the Bristol Channel from Wales). The Welsh accent is sooooo...very...beautiful. It's sing-songy. Just so pretty to listen to and very calming.
I wanted to build something like that into the Korwahk language. Something gentle and soothing. With all Circe was seeing and experiencing, it's nigh on impossible for her to take it all in and not be paralyzed by fear. I wanted this language to surround her, subliminally sharing that these people were very, VERY different to those of her world, but they could be gentle. Tender. Kind.
So that's what inspired the Korwahk language. :_)

Kristen I am such a huge fan of you and your books. I am in love with your Colorado Mountain series and my question to you is how many more books will there be? I also have a question about Nina and Max.what gender was there 2nd child? I am pretty sure they never mention it, they just talk about them and there 2 children in all the other books. Unless I missed it and need to re-read it.

Hey Kristen. You've pulled me into your world of fiesty chicks and alpha males with your wonderful writing. I've really loved reading the Rock Chick & 'Burg series as well as any others I can get ahold of. Thanks for the giggles and song recommendations by the way! :) I'm just wondering if you know when the Colorado Mountain or Dream Man series will be availble in Ireland? They don't show up on Smashwords or Kobo.
